Shark Breach in Venice Beach




On Sunday morning, Surfline’s Venice Beach Breakwater cam captured what appears to be a juvenile great white shark breaching from the water, just outside the lineup. There were only a couple surfers in the water at the time and nobody seemed to see what happened. Surfline was notified about the breach from local Venice surfer, Matt Hoffman, who explained: “I rode my bike down to the beach to check the waves this morning and saw something jump out there. Figured it was a shark but wasn’t totally sure and no one in the water seemed to notice. There were only a couple guys out and the shark seemed to be pretty far out the back. I got home and found it on the cam rewind. Looked like a little white. Ended up surfing an hour later. Was hoping to see more activity, but it was just that one breach.”
